I strongly suspect that many (most?) folks purporting that attitude outweighs competence have significant tailwinds: inherited money or connections, or similar.

You want to stack as many unfair advantages as you can. Attitude and knowledge are among those. Some folks have other unfair advantages over you, and you’ll have to work harder to compete than they would. That’s why they’re called unfair.
- maccard 4y agoI disagree - I value attitude over knowledge, but there's a baseline on both sides. If you don't hit the baseline of competency, no amount of attitude will make up for it, and vice versa, however given a choice between two people who are competent, and one has the right attitude I'd choose the attitude every time.
